Pages ... if I get around to it ...

Sunday, May 08, 2005

I followed a link from somewhere I ended up when I followed a link from somewhere I ended up when I followed a link from somewhere ... that I think I originally went to because someone e-mailed me a URL ... for a site that had an interesting link on it ... the first URL in this pile is actually where I ended up at the moment - I knew sooner or later I would end up on a blogspot page with the "blog this" button on it (I am feeling lazy ;-)Capitalist Pig vs. Socialist Swine: Pardon me while I geek out a little....hmmm - my son just asked me what I was looking at, so I told him - "something about monkeys smashing nuts with rocks" ... he said "ouch" ... (I could say something else here, but I don't think I had better go there!).btw - I like someone's comment on the bottom - about how maybe those monkeys are actually smarter than us ...next (er previous? lol) I found the link to the monkey stuff onhttp://www.buridansass.com/ (and yes - the title of the page does refer to a donkey, not something else - click on the "why ..." link on the top right). ... I am not too sure what the site is about (philosophy is like that ... lol) ... it has a whole pile of weird science related links to stuff like the study of decaying cockroaches ( http://pharyngula.org/index/weblog/comments/csi_cockroach/ ) ... which was actually interesting reading ...that link was on http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/ ... where I was reading all about how someone is selling the universe (well - a certificate of ownership for it anyway) on e-bay!I ended up looking at that blog because it was part of the website where I was looking at this http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/tides.html ... which is quite interesting reading ... (if you are interested in that sort of stuff ... which I am ;-)That is part of this site - http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/index.htmland I found that link here - http://www.universetoday.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4809 and that is part of a website that also sends out a newsletter that dh subscribed to ...... gee it is just so easy to get lost in cyberspace ... LOLI just found some more nuts ... I was actually searching for sheds for dh - he saw and ad on tv and he had forgoten the URL but remembered the name - I guess the words in the name were all in this page too ... lol - http://www.drifta.com.au/dutchy.htmactually that reminds me of something - these are the kind of blokes I can imagine doing stuff like this ... if I can find the website again ... ah - found it - http://www.users.bigpond.com/bigtombrown/extreme_ironing/extreme_ironing_photos/ ... actually it is not the main website, which I found a few months ago, but these are the particular photos I was after ... except I think there was also a movie of the thing somewhere else too ...hmmm ... maybe I should have just tried the obvious URL - http://www.extremeironing.com/ ... LOLif you go there, you will notice that there are a lot of people into this mad hobby ... it has taken off world wide - which just goes to show what a strange world we really do live in ... LOL

er ... almost tea time and I still have not hung out the washing ...I better go do something usefulbye 4 now ...

My weird place on the www

About Me

... yes, you guessed correctly - I am disorganised. I also seem to always be too busy doing stuff to actually get around to blogging about it ;)
When ... If?! ... I actually post anything, I also rave on about all sorts of stuff in my blogs (and in real life too) ...
everything from Art quilts to Zoonoses ... (yes that IS a word - if u don't believe me find a dictionary ... or search google for it!)

Blog Background

... has been removed for now (might put something else back there once I have time to fiddle with it) ... it looked mostly ok at my end, and I kind of liked the leaves down the side - but someone told me that, for them, the leaves were on top of the text ... so for now, the leaves are gone ;-)

This is a Flickr badge showing photos in a set called Crochet. Make your own badge here.

... if there isn't a funny looking thing with photos popping up on it here - then either you don't have flash installed or the thingy has died ... again ... lol

Still can't find what you are looking for?

Advertising ...

... not that I seem to be making any money out of it or anything, but one day someone might click on something and make me a few cents - I will try not to spend it all at once - LOL

Oops - the thingy I had here died ...
(the one below still seems to work though, but I don't think either of them have actually made me any money yet ...)

... this one probably works ... I wonder if anyone will click on it? does anyone click on the adds? (I guess someone does or they wouldn't still be a thing - lol)

It's a jungle in here ...

Want to help save the planet?

I think I am supposed to list 5 things I intend to do/change ... hopefully stuff I am already doing counts? ... we already have energy saving shower heads and light globes, I try to walk places instead of driving if I can (but unfortunately most places I go are too far for that), and the sprinklers in the garden have not been turned on for at least a couple of years (at the times when the water restrictions have been eased to allow sprinklers, there has been enough rain that we didn't actually need to use them - because the garden is mostly native plants, and the bit of watering I have done has been with a hose from the washing machine ;-)
Our new washing machine is one of those fancy front loaders that uses hardly any water, and DH (dear husband) and I seem to be forever turning lights off after the kids have left them on (I also tend to turn lights off at my friend's place too ... too bad if it drives her and her partner nuts or anything - they really don't need to have every light on in the house!). I have also planted quite a few trees when I have gone to help on projects with Landcare/Greening Australia/etc.
oh - and I also recycle/re-use stuff if I can ... especially yarn and fabric - LOL (yes I am into textile art/quilting/crochet/etc - and I like the whole idea of "patchwork" being about using recycled/scrap fabric to create something useful and/or artistic)
... but I do need to try and not spend quite so long in the shower ...
(and I probably should remember to take that bucket down to the bathroom, so I can collect the water while I wait for it to get hot enough to get in, and use it on the front garden or whatever)
